Does Utah deserve a chance at a split MNC?

They deserve it because they were undefeated and beat a one loss team.

They beat a one loss BCS Conference team, that's what UF and OU are. They definitely deserve it.

I'm a long-time Gator fan, and I believe regardless of what happens on Thursday, Utah should be the sole national champion.

Utah: .517 and 240 (including the bowl)
Florida: .621 and 369 (including SECCG)
OU: .636 and 328 (including BigXIICG)

Those are some pretty big gaps

Too bad Utah chickened out of a home game against Texas. If they had won that they would have been in the title game at least.

When did this chickening out happen?

Great stats. Please clarify, the scoring margin is points scored-points given up? Just wanted to make sure.

They just beat Alabama by more than Florida did. Whittingham is a defensive coach who knows Meyer's system better than anyone not named Dan Mullen. Those kids can play, I'd love to see them have a chance at Florida, it is SEC homerism to believe Utah couldn't win that game. As for Oklahoma, we've seen Defenses in the conference suck. Oklahoma's best win was over Texas Tech, the same Texas Tech who just lost to Ole Miss, which isn't as impressive as really either of Utah's wins over Alabama or TCU.

Utah went undefeated beating Alabama, Oregon State, BYU, Michigan, TCU...hell yes they deserve it imo.

I dont care what happens in the "national championship game". There will not be a more deserving team than Utah imo.

They wont get it from the AP (I hope im underestimating the AP), and there wont be a legit national champion this season. There will not be a last team standing that is clearly the best in the nation. The old pre-BCS system, where there could be multiple NCs, would actually be better in years like this imo.
